Posters,
Here's the skinny.  Watchout for Lyco!  Wilkes and DVC are gonna beat each other like rented mules.  Results of this mutual beating is gonna effect both teams' season. Lyco ends up takin the MAC.  This news should result in some commentary.

MOJO,
I don't think that there's one team in this MAC Conference that ever underestimates Lyco.  Everyone knows they are a great team not to be taken lightly. 

On any given day, any team can be victorious!  That's why each and every game against each and every opponent has to be played as if it's the Stagg bowl. 

Sure would be nice to see a MAC team actually make it to the Stagg!  It's been a while for our conference to make an appearance there so let's go MAC!  Get fired up!!!

Go Aggies!!

Lyco has to get by Widener in what amounts to a "must win" for the Pioneers.  So they'll have their hands full this Saturday.

[WUMAC]

My thoughts excatly gordanmann, Widener is no cake walk....


I always found it best, to shot your pray, then eat it.

i agree with it all... wilkes/del val... definately the game of the week and i agree that they are both going to beat each other pretty bad and its going to effect both... im also interested in what happens with lyco/widener... lyco is always a tough team along with widener, especially with the way the game with wilkes came down to at the end... they are going to be mad and look to take it out on lyco... ill be listening for scores on that... should be a good... and i also like the match up of kings/moravian... should be a good battle as well... does anyone know what happened to jacoubs from moravian? he was an outstanding running back

but yes... thursday and friday will fly by, then, GAME TIME, GO COLONELS!!!!

The return to excellence began in the OT Victory over Ithaca mid-season LY and continues TY in a well-balanced, anyone can win on any given Sat., MAC...If Lyco's OL stays healthy TY and continuously sustain their blocks on every play in every game (especially in the Red Zone), the Warriors will dominate time of possession, which I believe will be Lyco's key to success this year...Less Rep's for the opponent's Offense, especially with the new clock rules TY and a well-rested, "fresh legs" Defense will be the determining factor between a good season or a great one....How did it feel LY Captains/Seniors after the last 5 games?...Lead by example every game TY and after 8 more games, you'll add gravy to your season schedule and your legacy will be defined!!!....Simba

MAC Guy:

Jacoubs had a year of eligibility left but decided to finish his course work and graduate.  He only needed a few credits to get his degree from Moravian.

In case you missed it from the earlier posts (wink, wink) the MAC has quite a showdown on Saturday.

It'll be a clash of two great defenses as No. 12 Delaware Valley travels to No. 19 Wilkes for an early but big showdown in the conference race.

This game has played a key role in deciding the conference championship the past three years...

2003:  Upstart Delaware Valley comes into Edwardsville in a surprising spot -- first place -- with a 7-1 record.  Wilkes junior running back Brett Trichilo has a great game with 41 carries, 207 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 36-19 Colonels' win.  Delaware Valley slips from first place as Lycoming takes the lead and, eventually, the title.  DVC and Wilkes each head to the ECACs.

2004: Delaware Valley hosts Wilkes and again the Aggies are in first place, this time with an 8-0 record.  The Aggies' defense shows how much progress it has made under new Defensive Coordinator Jim Clements as they hold Trichilo to 61 yards on 25 carriers.  A young quarterback named Al Karaffa gets the start for Wilkes and struggles on a windy field.  About twenty minutes after the Aggies wrap up a 12-0 win, Albright beats Moravian to give the Aggies the school's first trip to the NCAA playoffs in any sport.

2005:  Wilkes heads to Doylestown again, this time for an early match up.  Defense again is the order of the day with  Delaware Valley shutting out Wilkes in the first half and the Colonels doing the same in the second half...until DVC QB Adam Knoblauch finds David Carmon for a big gain to set up a game winning field goal by Bill Miller.

Neither team knows it but Miller's kick will be the margin of victory for the Aggies' second conference title.  Wilkes rebounds from its 1-2 start to finish the regular season with 7 straight wins.

As for 2006...

I am cofused by all the lyco talk. I must have seen the score wrong. I thought they just squeeked by Juniata on Saturday. I guess juniata must be much improved this season.

[WUMAC]

I thought they were up 20-0 at half, so this upcoming game they could make a statement.

1 DAY
